The incident (The Happening. M. Night Shyamalan, 2008)
By Manuel Ortega
This life calls for another
Today the planet did not explode.
you imagine that I have a plan
(that's what you always think you) Come along for a ride
You know the world ends.
is a monumental error.
never been as
think if I know I say nothing.
At this point I do not care.
("The world is ending," Tachenko)
rarely go to the movies without knowing what you'll encounter. To me about some movies I try to view minority on Friday of opening weekend at 16:00, at festivals, silent, following the opposite direction to others and when I visit annually Shyamalan's work, that rare director everyone always disappointed. For since I began shooting The Sixth Sense had a saying that Bruce Willis was dead, that Bruce Willis was dead in Unbreakable, too, that betrays the film Gibson putting on dog collars (and not emulate Wilkinson in In the bedroom against itself), which is where a blind woman in the nineteenth century in the twenty-first century and if to save the world is not enough to kill (only) to a film critic. The smart, he said Marcial Ruiz Escribano.
The incident is another end of the road on a journey always starts. A new show of strength (or weakness) to the commonplace, expected and predictable: the realization of the greatness of a director not to explain anything because they do not ask for more than an hour and a half of attention. Your bet, based always within the limits of genre as well attested. The transgression is always more effective when done in our own home, when we know the rules and believe we win handily, and no. Then we lose face and break the rules, face and heading home. The problem that often drags the reception of the work of the Indian is strongly related to this concept that really is the engine of his own films: the rules are broken if you want to build, knowing the structure has to be the beginning of every mystery. Build the structure that leads to the media.
Ignorance, in addition to the axiom that underlies any search, is what is supposed to separate science from fiction. But really all they are theories that are based on the imagination and the ability Fabulous humans, the interpretation of signs that made the characters in The Lady in the Water, were erroneous (provided) when carried away by the stereotypes already established. The story is written by the victors but often boring, the powerful and the pruning to taste the only path that must exist, as demonstrated by Michel Onfray strongly in his indispensable "The power of existence, hedonistic manifesto." That's what motivates them, and that's what makes science fiction, truth and falsehood. A lie is not fiction, which is where all the truth. That is a lie ...
why Shyamalan strikes with madness to follow the opposite of what I always expected. So is the bane of critics who have written critically before going to the movie, and so is the demon of viewer who wants to see a trailer and demo, so it is the nemesis of trying to explain his theories over of the work through high (low) when a work is free is beyond any cataloging practice, in theory. So there is a sense of humor, which is inseparable from intelligence, even when planning the most dramatic scenes and / or terrifying, so there is an intellectual conception of visceral sensory mechanisms that are associated to the fact most essential film of staging and their allegiance to intelligence and respect for the viewer. It seems to be something more than simple, mandatory, and it is supposed to any director of his office trying to make sense of his work, but unfortunately it is so long, and the worst almost never.
The incident is the crowning work of a filmmaker determined to achieve immortality question based on ours and its effects on life. The redemption of his earlier films is questioned here is diversified, is redefined because the severity of our mistakes and are not individual but collective and because its scope is not focused in the past but in the not too rosy. That is where we offer a film about Love on the staging and love, on third down rather than on the latter, on forests that keep us from seeing the trees and birds that carry the cage inside. Because as the song say above, this life calls for another and images like the Alma announcing to her husband the good news of her pregnancy while the camera, discreet and respectful, shows a distant and intimate joy, too.
At a time of the incident reminds us that Albert Einstein had a theory saying that when the bees, the world would take four years to disappear with them. I have another which I hope will not get me wrong: When M. Night Shyamalan disappear from the world, the film will take more or less the same years to disappear with him.
